Transport to/from the Airport

The city centre can be easily reached by taxi, minibus, public transportation and, of course, by car. The main car hire firms have offices in the arrivals halls. For those not taking taxis or the Airport Minibus, renting a car is the best way to travel to and from any part of Budapest.

Taxi

Főtaxi, the taxi company with the longest tradition in Hungary, will transport passengers between the terminals and Budapest. Főtaxi’s several hundred cars and the company’s well-trained and experienced drivers, ensure a safe basis to satisfy passengers’ needs at a high standard. Taxi drivers speaking at least one foreign language are in service with ‘A’ category large cars under five years old. All cars are equipped with a POS terminal, therefore bank cards are also accepted. Reservations can be made in person at the Főtaxi booths located at the exits at Terminals 2A and 2B. At the taxi rank in front of the stands, a line of taxis continuously awaits passengers.

Public transport

By bus

Passengers are transported by a direct bus service from Terminal 2A and 2B to the metro station Deák Ferenc tér in the city centre by the bus number 100E. This service is adjusted to passenger traffic at the airport. A one-way ticket costs 900 HUF.

Other transports

Minibus

The door-to-door transfer operates as a shared-ride service, which means that passengers travelling to and from the same, or closely situated, addresses are transported in the same vehicle. Every vehicle is equipped with dual-air conditioning systems and Wi-Fi hotspot for free internet access, further increasing passenger comfort during the journey. The service is provided with buses for 8 to 10 and 30 to 50 passengers. All minibuses arrive to and depart from, the main entrances of the terminals. Bookings can be made in person at the Airport Shuttle-Minibus Desks or 24 hours before your flight departure via an online reservation system, through travel agencies or by calling the call centre.
